WHAT PAYS THE TAXES.

The theory Of the surplus-sqnander-
ers at Washington is that the present
national taxes are mot felt By the
people," and that the 100000, 900
which they yield above the needs OF
the government may therefore as we'll
be spent.
The idea that over $3.50. .O0O. 900 can
be collected from the people of this
country on top of the state and local
taxes without being "felt" ought to
be too preposterous on its face to re.
1nire refutal. All the federal taxes
upon consumption. even those Of the
internal revenue sy stem, are now ''in'
direct That is. they are paid di.
rectly by the importer, the manufact-
urer.or the producer, but indirectly,
yet as sure as fate, by the consumer.

every pound Of sugar he buys, or IL
cents u hundred on salt, or % per
cent, on the value OF imported cloth.
ing, or 8 cents a pound on tobacco,
may not "feei' it the same as he
would if he went to a tax collector,
paid the amount and took receipt.
but it comes out of him when added
to the price Of the article. as of course
It inevitably is.
To show what pays the taxes is to
indicate who pays them. There were
collected during 1885 the following
sums from imported articles:

For every dollar that the saloons
divert from the avenues Of legitimate
trade they must attract to Morris an
other dollar that is spent for the nec'
cessaries Of life or they are positive
injury to the business Interests Of the
village.
Conservative men who will vote
the license ticket estimate that there
is annually spent in the four saloons
in this village $4,000. The writer
heard u travelling man say since this
no license discussion commenced that
there Was more liquor drank In Nor
ris than in any two towns between
Wahpeton aud Minneapolis. We
think, however, that $685. IS too
high an estimate and will put it ut
S4c, 900. Then We will assume that
SIC, 900 Of it is spent for cigars. etc..
which would be spent in any event.
80 will place it ut $50. 600, which is an
absolute loss to the other business Of
the village. Now the saloons must
show THAT they bring $4,000 besides
that Is spent with the butcher, tho
baker. tho candlestick maker, or else
admit that they are u positive injury
to the other branches of trade.
